Nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat-containing (NLR) proteins function as
sensors that perceive pathogen molecules and activate immunity. In plants, the accumulation …

The plant perception of pathogen-associated molecular patterns triggers a plethora of
cellular immune responses. One of these responses is a rapid and transient burst of reactive …

The subversion of plant cellular functions is essential for bacterial pathogens to proliferate
in host plants and cause disease. Most bacterial plant pathogens employ a type III secretion …

Bacterial wilt caused by the soil-borne plant pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum is a devastating
disease worldwide. Upon plant colonization, R. solanacearum replicates massively, …

Ralstonia solanacearum, the causal agent of bacterial wilt disease, is considered one of the
most destructive bacterial pathogens due to its lethality, unusually wide host range, …

Effector proteins delivered inside plant cells are powerful weapons for bacterial pathogens,
but this exposes the pathogen to potential recognition by the plant immune system. Therefore…

Pyridoxine (pyridoxamine) 5′-phosphate oxidase (PPOX) catalyzes the oxidative conversion
of pyridoxamine 5′-phosphate (PMP) or pyridoxine 5′-phosphate (PNP) to pyridoxal 5′…

In Arabidopsis, stomatal development and patterning require tightly regulated cell division
and cell-fate differentiation that are controlled by key transcription factors and signaling …

The suppressor of the G2 allele of skp1 (SGT1) is an essential component of the plant immune
system, required for the induction of disease resistance mediated by many intracellular …

The internal C:N balance must be tightly controlled for the normal growth and development
of plants. However, the underlying mechanisms, by which plants sense and balance the …
